[Leica] Editing on an iPad (bis, or plus bis...)

[spencer at aotera.org (Spencer Cheng)]

Hi Nathan,

What I really want is a lightweight version of either Aperture or Lightroom 
for the iPad. Mostly for categorization and picture rating work and very 
occasionally, some light editing on a few images for email. It's much easier 
to sort 100 images per night rather than 2000 images after 3 weeks. :)

I've tried Snapseed, PS Touch and like you, I've deleted some other apps too.

The search continues..

Regards,
Spencer
